IGN: Living with Tiberium

Community manager Aaron "APOC" Kaufman sends word that IGN is currently running a feature story called Living with Tiberium.  The story features a number of new screens and vivid descriptions of a Tiberium-infested world.
If you were to stand in the middle of a Red Zone, you would see a landscape straight out of hell. The ground is a blasted and barren plateau of rock laced with veins of Tiberium that shine through with a malevolent green radiance. On the horizon are massive formations of pure Tiberium that have welled up through the surrounding earth. These frozen crystalline glaciers cast a sickly emerald glow on the surrounding terrain. Tilt your head and you'll contemplate a cloudy, tortured sky alive with twisting patterns of shimmering light and flickers of lightning. If you wait long enough, you'll see an Ion Storm begin to form, the lightning overhead intensifying until the entire environment is lit with rapid strobing flashes. Eventually the vast and terrible energy overhead will begin arcing to the ground around you in a terrifying display of destructive force. These fireworks are accompanied by a howling toxic whirlwind that scours the deserted ground and drives shards of Tiberium before it at insane speeds.
To read the rest of the article, be sure to pay a visit to IGN.

Also, remember that EA's next Command & Conquer podcast will be available this Friday the 28th!  Stay tuned to www.commandandconquer.com for details.
